Williams Lake RCMP are asking for information after an attempted break and enter at the government liquor store on Oliver Street early Wednesday. Insp. Warren Brown said at approximately 1:45 a.m. on Jan. 30, police received a report of the attempted break in and when they attended the scene discovered a hole through an outer window. “The culprit had made efforts to enter by smashing out this window, however, was unable to gain entrance,” Brown said. The investigation is continuing and the RCMP is asking if anyone knows anything about the crime or saw anyone suspicious near the liquor store at that time to please call the Williams Lake Detachment at 250-392-6211 or Crime Stoppers.

Runway funding would fall short: city Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The city of Williams Lake is turning up the heat in hopes it will get funding to completely resurface the runway at its regional airport. In conversations with representatives of the Airport Capital Assistance Program (ACAP), the city’s been told only 5,000 feet of the 7,000 foot runway is eligible for funding. At its committee of the whole meeting Tuesday, council discussed contacting the region’s MPs Dick Harris and Cathy McLeod to request a meeting. “The MPs should be our first point of contact, as well as the caucus chair for the BC MPs, and if we have to go with the opposition MPs to get movement on this. The 5,000 foot resurfacing doesn’t meet our needs with the runway at the airport,” said Coun. Ivan Bonnell. The cost to overlay the en-

tire runway is estimated to be $7 million, the estimated cost if the city had to overlay the remaining 2,000 feet is estimated at $2.5 million. The last time the runway was resurfaced was in 1997. “Transport Canada criteria for funding is based on current commercial carrier needs, the city has two — Pacific Coastal and Central Mountain Air. Transport Canada has stated that they can only, at this time, support a 5,000 feet overlay based on the needs of the current commercial carriers,“ said Kevin Goldfuss, director of municipal services. “There are concerns with our other customers such as Air – Spray, Conair and BC Ambulance as they require more than 5,000 feet, in fact the larger ones that are required to fight fires will require the whole 7,000 feet.” Lighting is an issue too, said acting chief administrative officer Geoff Goodall. “Our consultant was saying if you shorten the runway to 5,000 feet then we’re going

Runaway pony keeps lakecity RCMP busy over weekend Among the 60 calls that kept Williams Lake RCMP busy over the weekend one of a different feather was catching a run-a-way pony. At around 4:12 a.m. police responded to a call that there was a pony running rampantly west on Highway 20 near the Handimart. When police arrived in

the area, and found the pony, the constables attempted to drive in front of the pony and corner it on the side of the road so it could be grabbed. The pony began trying to

run away from the police truck and ran speeds of 40 kilometres an hour. The pony was finally corralled thanks to one of the police officer’s rodeo skills.

The pony was then walked up to the SPCA where the SPCA took over possession of the animal. BC SPCA Williams Lake branch manager Liz

Health bus sees 55 per cent increase in ridership since 2006 Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Since its inception in 2006 the health bus servicing Williams Lake has seen a 55 per cent increase in ridership. There were slightly more than 700 riders in 2007/2008 and slightly more than 1,100 riders in 2011/2012. “It’s important to know that we do service citizens that are travelling for medical reasons, if there’s capacity on the bus, it is also open to the general public so we achieve some economies of scale,” Brent Hobbs, Interior Health regional director patient transportation services said. A $5 one-way fare, has not changed since 2006. The bus runs out of Williams Lake on Mondays, departing from the A&W at 7:30 a.m. and returns the same day, and

health providers try to accommodate patients by booking appointments accordingly, Hobbs said. Of the total $1.3 million IH-wide program for all levels of service in busing, shared by B.C. Transit and municipalities, the cost of providing the bus in Williams Lake annually costs around $38,000. Up until the health bus, it was up to individuals to find their own transportation for medical appointments. “My father-in-law Hugo Stahl lived in Williams Lake,” Hobbs said. “He had cancer and had to travel all the way to Kelowna for his treatments in winter conditions. This would have been a great service to have when he was making those trips.” Chelsea Pilkington of Williams Lake has used the service in the winter to attend a medical appoint-

Gerry Coulthard boards the health bus. ment in Kamloops. She appreciated the low price of the bus fare and being able to avoid winter driving. “It was in December in the winter,” Pilkington said. “I’m not a fan of driving in the winter. I caught the bus at the A&W and was transported directly to Royal Inland Hospital and then caught the bus right

at admitting department to come back home. It was very very convenient.” When she made her appointment, she based it on when she could take the bus. “It’s not always economically feasible for people to travel to Kamloops for medical appointments and the bus is very affordable,” Pilkington

said. “For $5 you cannot drive there and in the winter time driving can be so stressful. If there’s fog up at Clinton, you don’t have to worry about it because the guy driving the bus is worrying about it.” A comprehensive evaluation of the service in 2009 included gathering ridership feedback, but nothing has been done since then, other than B.C. Transit surveys. Looking to the future, Hobbs said IH needs to look at how patients are moved and referred to medical specialities in the health region,” Hobbs said. He is anticipating that more and more patients from the Cariboo Chilcotin will be referred to the new Interior Heart and Surgical Centre that recently opened in Kelowna. “We will have to look at existing bus routes and

evaluate whether or not there’s a business case to expand the routes or make changes.” Currently there isn’t a capacity issue, despite the increase, Hobbs said. Another service Williams Lake residents can access is the Northern Health Bus, if they are travelling to Vancouver for medical appointments. In 2010, 211 passengers from Williams Lake used the service, in 2011, 195 used the service, and in 2012, 220 passengers used the service. “Overall it’s been quite consistent for the last three years,” Erin Collins, NH communications manager said. “It’s not officially a Northern Health connections route, other than the fact that it passes through Williams Lake so we pick them up in Williams Lake as a courtesy, rather than being an actual service we provide.”

In terms of funding, it’s rolled into the overall NH transportation budget. “It doesn’t matter to us, the passengers are going to Vancouver and we’re going there anyway so it’s not an additional cost for us to include those passengers,” Collins said. The cost for that trip is $40 one way from Prince George to Vancouver, travelling Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays to Vancouver, returning Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Unlike the IH bus, only medical passengers can use the NH bus, Collins said, although patients can bring a companion with them. Another difference is that the Northern Health bus is a standalone program with its own funding through the Ministry of Health in partnership with Diversified Transportation Ltd.

NDP forest critic and MLA confident in party’s plan Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer NDP forests critic MLA Norm Macdonald says the NDP is confident its detailed forestry plan will ensure the province’s forests are healthy and make B.C. the jurisdiction where forestry is done at its best. Macdonald spoke with the Tribune in Williams Lake Friday, sharing his party’s ideas for the province’s forests. “We’ve worked on dollar figures with a number of people, but the actual detailed elements of the plan will be laid out after we see the budget in February,” Macdonald said. “There’s a tremendous skepticism that what the government presents about the budget is going to be accurate. He was a member of the special committee on timber supply and said

the plan addresses concerns identified when the committee visited B.C. communities. Government has a responsibility to reforest areas that have been disturbed by wildfires and disease, he said. “There used to be a legal obligation to replant those areas. The BC Liberals removed that legal obligation back in 2002 and cut the budget for replanting by 90 per cent.” Since that time the Forest Practices board has estimated that a “massive” area between one and two million hectares was not replanted. “It’s a missed opportunity.” Critical of the Liberals’ replanting program Forests for Tomorrow started in 2005, Macdonald said 22 million seedlings should have been planted by now, but the number is closer to 13 to

NDP candidates Duncan Barnett (left) and Charlie Wyse (right) with NDP opposition forests critic Norm Macdonald (centre). 14 million. The NDP’s commitment will increase planting to the 50 million mark within four to five years, and update resource inventories so that decisions are being made on data that is no more than 10 years old. Resource inventories, with 75 per cent of them being 30 years or older,

need to be updated, Macdonald suggested. “Especially with the amount of disruption we’ve had in this area, we know that decisions will be based on information that is inaccurate. How can you make informed decisions and cut a whole host of areas if you don’t know? We’re confident we can update

inventories within two to three years.” Non-timber values will also be included in the inventories. A third goal would be to re-establish research capacity in the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations, and re-establish land use planning because licensees depend

on that community participation for certification and selling product. Similar to inventories, land use plans have to be more of a “living document,” he said. The fifth concern would be insects and disease to make sure they are identifying outbreaks and treating them as quickly as possible, and the final issue around forest and range evaluation, looking at the existing legislative framework to see if it addresses the work that needs to be done around restoration and landscape management. “These are things people talked about repeatedly, not only in Williams Lake, but in all the communities we went to with the special committee, and things we’ve talked about as an opposition again and again,” Macdonald said. “Management of forests has to

be changed for the better in a practical pragmatic way, step by step.” He said implementing the plan won’t require large numbers of staff to run the programs. Everyone “knows” the province is in a fiscal state where government has to be conscious that sources of revenue are limited. “Adrian Dix is committed to costing out any new expenditures we have, which means we’ve identified a few sources of income, such as a move on the corporate tax from 10 to 12 per cent, we’ve talked about reinstating the bank capital tax.” Macdonald said he and other members are meeting with stakeholders throughout the province to obtain feedback that will help the NDP develop its final platform before the May 2013 election.

Parents raise questions as trustees finalize school closures Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer There were only a few people in the gallery Tuesday evening as School District 27 trustees finalized their decision to close schools in the district. Despite impassioned pleas from several parents to keep Kwaleen and Glendale elementary schools open, the trustees finalized their decisions to close the schools by giving the school closing bylaws third and final reading. Kwaleen, Glendale, 100 Mile Junior Secondary and Buffalo Creek schools will be closed at the end of this school year. Trustees decided last week that Wildwood Elementary would stay open, although it was also slated for closure in the Initial Options Report presented to the public last fall on ways to bring the district’s operating budget in line with Ministry of Education directives. One parent urged the trustees to reconsider closing Glendale. Instead of keeping Wild-

wood Elementary open with its small number of students, she suggested bringing the Wildwood students and First Nations program to Glendale to bolster that school’s enrolment numbers. She was also concerned about the board’s decision to separate the French Immersion and balanced calendar programs which now formed a community at Glendale elementary. Given that both schools will be filled to capacity with students she was also concerned that there wouldn’t be room to grow the French Immersion program at its new location at Nesika Elementary, or to expand balanced calendar program in its new location at Cataline Elementary. A Kwaleen parent lobbying to keep that school open, also expressed concern that Grade 7s still need a playground when they are moved up to high school and wanted assurances that counselling and support programs will follow

students. Trustees noted that while there were no guarantees on future planning issues, no one had been turned away from the French Immersion program to date. Chair Will VanOsch said the whole purpose of closing and consolidating schools was to be able to use available funds to provide more resources for students but there are no guarantees. Trustee Doug Neufeld noted the district would be working to address concerns of parents during the implementation process. He also noted that the board would need to deal with future facility needs regarding program expansion as they arise. One parent also suggested that children in the same classes be moved together with their teacher into their new school in order to ease the transition for them. Superintendent of Schools Mark Thiessen said the district couldn’t guarantee that would happen because

One parent also questioned whether the district had gone far enough in closing schools and cutting its operating costs for the Ministry of Education to allow the release of capital funds for needed school upgrades. She said 100 Mile Elementary has been scheduled for replacement for many years and upgrading is needed at Peter Skene Ogden. Roller said the school closures made by the district don’t quite meet the Ministry of Education utilization guidelines for releasing capital funds to replace schools. However, she said the district has increased its utilization rate by leaps and bounds compared to what it was and hopes the changes will be enough, along with a sound business plan, to trigger the release of capital funding. The district has $4 million in reserve capital funds from the sale of Anne Stevenson Junior Secondary School to Thompson Rivers University.

there are provisions in the teacher contracts to consider during the implementation phase of closing and consolidating the schools. He said the main thing is to make sure students and staff are well supported through the transition process. VanOsch and several trustees noted that their decisions to close schools were not taken lightly and were made after considering a great deal of background research and input from the public through the public consultation process. One parent also questioned the enrolment numbers used in the decision to close Kwaleen elementary. She noted Kwaleen enrolment was not the same as reported by the secretarytreasurer. SecretaryTreasurer Bonnie Roller noted the numbers she compiled in the report were the projections for the 2013/14 school year and were adjusted to reflect enrolment once Grade 7s had been moved up to secondary school.

NO GLASS IN RECYCLING CARTS PLEASE DO NOT put glass in the recycling cart. Glass in the recycling cart could end up broken. Broken glass spoils the recyclables and puts the workers who do the sorting at a great risk of injury. Instead of putting glass in the curb side recycling cart, it can be taken to the Central Cariboo Transfer Station or Canadian Tire.

Here are some easy do’s and don’ts that can assist everyone in making the collection of recyclables and solid waste easier for you, as well as the City of Williams Lake’s contractor.

DON’Ts

DOs

Don’t put your carts on the street the night before your collection day. The cart’s subject to vandalism.

Have the garbage/recycling cart at the curb before 7:00 am. Take the garbage/recycling cart off the curb the same day as it is collected.

Don’t put the garbage/recycling carts any closer together than 1 meter.

Put shredded paper in a bag. Loose paper may escape when tipping the cart.

Don’t leave your cart on the curb. This interferes with snow removal or street cleaning.

Record the serial number on the side of your cart to identify your cart from your neighbours.

Don’t put your cart any closer than 2 meters from any obstruction such as vehicles or landscaping.

Ensure the lid of the cart is fully closed. Partially opened lids will not be picked up. Clean all recyclables before putting them in the recycling container.

Don’t take the carts when you move. The carts belong to that address, NOT TO YOU.

Avoid putting organic material, such as grass clippings, branches, or garden waste, in the solid waste cart. These items only add unnecessary weight to the solid waste stream and increase the costs for every resident in Williams Lake. This material can be brought to the Central Cariboo Transfer Station on Frizzi Road and dropped off free of charge.

Sunday, February 17th 2:45 pm to 4:15 pm sponsored by:

Oliver & Co.

The only items that are permitted go into the curb side recycling cart are: 1. Paper products – office paper, magazines, newspapers. 2. Cardboard – corrugated cardboard and regular cardboard such as a cereal box. 3. Plastics – must have the recycling symbol on it and the number inside the symbol must be 1 through 7. No Styrofoam allowed. 4. Metal food cans – food or beverage containers. Note: all above mentioned products must be clean. Other recyclable material, such as glass, lead acid batteries, or propane bottles that cannot be put in the curb side recycling cart can be dropped off at the Central Cariboo Transfer Station. Even more recyclable items can be brought to several locations in Williams Lake that participate in the product stewardship program. A list of these companies can be found at the Encorp website (http://www.encorp.ca/cfm/), the Encorp toll free number 1-800-330-9767, or by calling the BC Recycling Hotline at 1-800-667-4321. Any questions can be directed to City Hall at 250-392-2311.

Privatizing our forests

Some tough decisions made

had a great time last week selling copies of the Reach A Reader edition of the Tribune to help raise funds for Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy. I’m always happy to be part of Reach A Reader, because as an educator, I know how important literacy is. Being able to read is a skill you will need and use for your entire lifetime – in education, in employment, and in everyday life. Literacy is the key that opens so many doors. A big thank you to From the C C P L for all the Mayor’s work you Chair do in our Kerry Cook community! School District 27 trustees had to make some difficult decisions about school closures in light of upcoming funding shortfalls, and I’m happy to see they listened to parents, students, and other stakeholders with the eventual closures and configurations that were approved. I’m pleased with the secondary school configuration as well. I know there are a lot of disappointed students and parents. With funding cuts come unpleasant change, but I am confident we will all adjust as we focus on good education. I’m grateful we have concerned citizens who are willing to let their names stand for the demanding position of school board trustee. Earlier this month, the province’s three Beetle Action Coalitions released a discussion paper as part of the Rural BC project. It recommends that rural communities, First Nations, and other stakeholders work in partnership with the provincial government to develop a new long-term strategy for social and economic development throughout rural B.C. Together, the BACs represent approximately 70 per cent of the province, and as it says in the paper’s title, the pathway to prosperity runs through B.C.’s rural places. We need to send that message strongly and often to Victoria. Strong commodity prices are critical to Williams Lake’s industries, both present and future, and it’s good to see lumber, gold, and copper continued their rise in 2012. Lumber rose $60 to $322 per board foot over 2011, copper increased nearly 30 cents to $3.65 a pound, and gold nearly $100 per ounce to $1,700. Let’s hope the trend continues in 2013. Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Spreading wealth More money is being earned by fewer people. According to Statistics Canada, 10.6 per cent of the country’s income is now earned by the top one per cent of those who filed tax returns in 2010. The median income for those top earners is almost 10 times higher than the median income for the remaining 99 per cent. This disparity between the haves and the rest of society was the fuel for last year’s Occupy movement that spread around the world from Wall Street. It is a component of the First Nations’ Idle No More protests to reclaim their portion of Canada’s enormous wealth of natural resources, pumped and excavated from lands that once belonged to them. The gap between rich and poor has fired protest and unrest for as long as there’s been currency. Just ask the French, who disposed their monarchy when the population could no longer afford bread because of onerous taxes. In fact, Canada’s not doing too badly when it comes to

dispersing income, ranking somewhere in the middle of the rest of the world. According to the Gini Index, a measure of income dispersion developed by an Italian statistician and sociologist in which a coefficient of zero means everyone has exactly the same income and one means all the wealth within a country is held by one person, Canada’s coefficient is .688. That’s lower than countries like Brazil (.784), the United States (.801) and Switzerland (.803). But it’s higher than the Netherlands (.650), Belgium (.662) and Germany (.667). The country with the most equal distribution of income in the world, according its Gini coefficient of .547, is Japan. Of course, all those statistics are meaningless the next time you check your bank statement. That’s the true measure of wealth distribution. Somehow, it’s never enough. - Burnaby NewsLeader

lthough the timber supply does not exist to allow the Burns Lake sawmill to be rebuilt without negatively affecting other mills, communities, and jobs on Highway 16, the government has chosen to ignore this reality and appears intent on getting the Burns Lake mill rebuilt at any cost. “Any cost” includes the commitment to introduce legislation this spring that will enable Cabinet to give Hampton Affiliates, an American company, exclusive rights over specific areas of our public forests in the Lakes Timber Supply Area in a manner that will open MLA the door Musings to the broadBob Simpson s c a l e privatization of our public forests. In their dying days, the BC Liberals will introduce enabling legislation that will allow politicians to give forest companies exclusive rights over our public forests without the checks and balances of governing laws or regulations, or the guaranteed scrutiny of a transparent public process. The Social Credit Party attempted a similar “rollover” of replaceable volume-based licenses to area-based tenures in 1988. The NDP Forest Critic at the time dubbed the legislation “privatization on a massive scale,” and it was squashed by significant public backlash. Twenty-five years later, our forests are under assault by pests, disease, and fire. We have an appallingly weak forest inventory. And only a few large companies now hold replaceable volume-based timber licenses. Yet with the BC Liberal Party on the verge of losing the May election, they’re going to ram legislation through the BC Legislature that will do what Social Credit could not. As last summer’s Timber Supply Committee found out, the social licence still doesn’t exist to support the wholesale rollover of renewable forest licenses to area-based tenures. That’s why they did not recommend this action. Instead, it gave some cautionary provisos to government for consideration “if conversion to more area-based tenures is desirable.” I plan to oppose this legislation when it is introduced this spring. Please visit www.bobsimpsonmla.ca to learn more about the significant implications of this change. Then, decide for yourself whether it ought to be supported or opposed. Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

Jobs from HST didn’t materialize Editor: The famous slogan “taxation without representation” has been around since the 1600s. Many wars were fought over this principle. It’s interesting to note that the tax itself is not as egregious as the fact that it is applied without representation, consultation or amendment. This was the case on July 1, 2010 when the BC Liberals decided to apply a consumption tax primarily aimed at middle income British Columbians. The BC Liberal government claimed the tax would be revenue neutral but that assertion quickly vaporized when the 110-plus items previously exempt from tax became taxable. More than $800 million of

disposable income went into the government’s coffers with no real or perceived improvements to core government services. The government’s independent panel summed it up well. “The gradual future economic benefits expected with the HST will not materialize.” The “hated sales tax” soon became the subject of public outcry and protest the likes of which have never been witnessed in this province. People of all political stripes banded together to defeat the tax based on the same argument James Otis put forward in 1765. Our MLA, Donna Barnett, despite the protestations of her constituents became a stalwart supporter of the tax. Her statements

in the legislature speak for themselves. Here is what she stated on Mar. 22, 2010. “That is what the harmonized sales tax will provide — jobs so that people can go and buy that cup of coffee and that ice cream cone for their families.” The 113,000 jobs never materialized and that cup of coffee and ice cream cone cost us seven per cent more thanks to the HST. So the highlight of MLA Barnett’s tenure as our representative in Victoria was to promote a regressive tax and then preside over its demise and the return to the PST. All this at considerable cost to us, the taxpayer. Richard Vollo Williams Lake

Settling land claims disputes could increase profits Editor: Chief Theresa Spence was never the founder of the Idle No More movement, she only endorsed the concept and road the idle no more coat tail. Although the Idle No More Movement is largely an Aboriginal women’s movement, all Canadians and non-Canadians tend to get involved, as these issues affect non-Aboriginals and Aboriginals worldwide, not just in Canada. Now of course the idea of race has been made obsolete in the scientific community as it’s more of a sociological invention of culture. Land claims by Aboriginals are based on the grandfather clause of inheritance from forefathers. It isn’t a race issue nor was it ever. So whenever we as a community hear that taxpayers pay Aboriginals for housing or what not, it’s not that they get free money

that’s owed somehow through some outdated obscure ancient law written years ago that should no longer apply. This didn’t happen thousands of years ago. This land grab for resources just happened a few generations ago and is still happening. There are even people still alive from the original treaties (if any were ever made). The money we hear the conservative government complain about that’s being tossed to aboriginals in the form of Department of Indian Affairs (DIA) money, is taken from resources sold from Aboriginal land and given to Aboriginals for housing, education and what not. All Aboriginal money comes from usage of resources belonging to Aboriginals. Today Aboriginals, Canadians (non-Aboriginals), and world citizens every where are concerned about the state of the world’s environment and waterways. We as citizens of the earth are

tired of corporations pushing everyone around telling us we need to use these resources for the greater good now. The fact of the matter is it’s economically smarter to wait until legal issues are settled around who actually has rights to what resources. According to a Bank of Novia Scotia study, if Aboriginal resources were settled, Canada and many non-Aboriginal communities could increase in profits and business interactions. Red tape would disappear and the DIA would shut down if land claims were settled once and for all. We would all profit, make money and have clean air and water. We have to think in the terms of jobs for the next 100 years not the next election. No one buys into this old way of colonial thinking anymore.

Clint Charleyboy Yes. There are too many cats left to run wild.

Robert Swanson Licensed and leashed no, but feed cats well so they don’t hunt.

Thais DaSilva No, but spaying and neutering are a responsiblity.

Wolves, Flyers claim medals at tourney Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Williams Lake Grey Wolves struck silver and the Williams Lake Orange Flyers nabbed bronze on the weekend at the Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association’s Midget House Tournament. Sunday’s playoff matchups, following round robin games Friday and Saturday, pitted the Flyers against Clearwater in the bronzemedal match and the Grey Wolves versus Kamloops for the gold. First, the Flyers hit the ice to take on a Clearwater team they’d tied 1-1 earlier in the tournament. Flyers goaltender Tanner Nickel allowed just one goal, which came early in the first period, while captain Tessa Hare and Eric Nickel each found the twine to lift their squad to a 2-1 win. Eric’s game winner came at the 2:05 mark of the third period. Next the Grey Wolves, who’d gone unbeaten in the round robin, were set to take on the tournament’s other undefeated team in Kamloops. The Wolves found themselves in penalty trouble early in the first, managing to kill off a two-man ad-

Less than a minute into the second Kamloops’ Riley Polacik made it 2-0. Williams Lake answered back with 2:02 remaining in the frame when Tyrel Phillips capitalized on the power play to put the Grey Wolves within one. From there, both goaltenders

— Williams Lake’s Bailey Schick and Kamloops’ Jake Birkeland — played phenomenally, shutting the door for the remainder of the contest. Williams Lake, with one minute remaining, pulled its goalie while on the power play to try to notch the equalizer, but Kamloops held on for the 2-1 win and the gold. Grey Wolves captain Calvin Pattison said he thought either team

could have just as easily picked up the win. “They played well,” Pattison said. “We wanted it but I think they wanted it just as bad. It comes down to that. But we can’t be disappointed.” Grey Wolves coach Ted Vint said it was a great tournament, despite the end result, for his team. “The whole team came together,” Vint said. “We had been struggling a little bit not long ago but we really came together as a team and everybody put in a full effort and the results showed on the scoreboard.” Vint said the play of Schick in goal was part of the reason his team saw success in the tournament. “Bailey really made the big saves when we needed them,” he said. “She kept us in it and gave the whole team hope to keep plugging away.” Other tournament results saw the Williams Lake Yellow Steelers enact some revenge on the Clearwater Warriors to take fourth place, while the Burns Lake Bruins took sixth. Quesnel AAA Photography beat Williams Lake Teal J.A. to finish seventh.

The Williams Lake Stampeders play their first home game of the post-season Saturday, Feb. 2 at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex versus the Lac La Hache Tomahawks. Game one of the three-game series went this Saturday in Lac La Hache. Game times are to be determined. Check the Tribune for updates.

Participants at last year’s ﬁrst ever Inter-Agency Shoot at the Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association shooting range gathered for a team photo, following some friendly competition throughout the day. The event was such a success organizers are already planning and accepting registration for this year’s.

Second inter-agency shoot planned the WLSA gun range, featuring friendly competition between the RCMP, the Sheriff’s department and three teams of International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) members. “If we are fortunate enough to have a military team, or a few members show up, we will look at what type of course of fire they use, if any,” he added. “There may be an all-female IPSC team this year, as well as an “Outcast” team with one shooter from each

Biathletes training hard for provincials It was a clean sweep for Williams Lake cadets Jan. 5 in Prince George at the Zone 2 Pacific Region Cadet Biathlon. Three members of the 202 Chilcotin Sea Cadets attended. Julia Rook won first place in the youth female division, Emma Davidson won first

place for senior female and Dana Rook won first place in the junior female class. All three cadets will be going to Mt. Washington this weekend, Feb. 2, to participate in the provincial biathlon competition where they’ll be stacked up against the best in the province.

Coaches said the cadets have been practicing continuously in preparation for the event by skiing at Bull Mountain and target shooting at the Bond Lake Road gun range. The top placing cadets at provincials will then travel to Valcartier, Que., to compete at the national level.

A YMCA certified fitness instructor, and a trained Zumba dance teacher, Candice worked at a fitness centre for two-anda-half years, and got her start at the Salvation Army as a volunteer last fall. She said that she enjoys working with a variety of people with different levels of fitness, different goals and different backgrounds, with all the associated challenges. “When people leave my class with a smile on their face I know I did a good job. I like it when people feel a sense of accomplishment,” she explained. “My biggest challenge is when I’m approached by someone with really specific limitations, and working out a program specific to them to help them target their problem areas, their physical conditions or their injuries.” She said that every morning at 9:15 a.m. she teaches the addictions group, who are required to spend a half hour in the gym every day. “The group facilitator has told me that he really notices a difference in people,” she continued. “They stand taller, they feel stronger and are more balanced and co-ordinated — it really creates a sense of accomplishment.”

Candice Drouin is the new fitness instructor at the Salvation Army, where she offers a range of free programs for adults, families and children. Drouin also volunteers at the Women’s Contact Society and teaches a weekly class at Con-

crete Fitness. She said that Zumba dance as a special place in her heart.

“I love it because anyone can do it, regardless of co-ordination or ability level. It’s not about the moves—it’s about feeling good, enjoying the music and having fun.” The Salvation Army fitness centre offers low-impact cardio, personal training sessions, women’s only sessions and family fitness where parents and kids can have fun and get fit together. Drouin said working with kids is especially rewarding. “Obesity in kids is on the rise. This is free, convenient, and the gym is open to kids on Saturday afternoons, when the rest of the drop-in centre is closed. “This program is designed to help kids with motor skills, teach them respect for others and how to play fair — things they take home with them,” she continued. “We’re also looking into teaching ‘Zumba Atomic’ for kids.” Kids have great things to say about the classes. “They say they had a really good time. For them it’s hanging out and having fun — they don’t realize they’re working out. “It’s also a great way to spend quality time with mom or dad. Children and parents are always welcome in our gym, which is unique in a fitness facility,” she added. “Everyone has such busy lives, and it’s too easy to just put on a movie for the kids. When parents and kids spend time together here it’s ‘unplugged’ quality time together. They’re focused on each other and that’s what makes it work.” For more information about programs at the Salvation Army, including the fitness centre, visit www.wlsalvationarmy.org or phone 250-305-2492.

residents and businesses are being asked to bundle up, turn down the heat and donate a sweater or jacket to someone in need. It’s all part of the inaugural Turn Down the Heat Campaign Feb. 2 to 9 initiated by FortisBC and Business Improvement Areas of British Columbia. The one-week challenge to turn down the heat at work and at home could play a big part in energy conversation and if you keep it up – just watch the energy bills go down, say organizers. The project has the enthusiastic support of 19 business improvement associations from Vancouver Island to the Mainland, including

ness Improvement Area Association. The Turn Down the Heat campaign is all about encouraging people to turn down the heat and layer up. Put on a sweater, add a hoodie, double up your t-shirts – layering is the new cool, organizers say. In addition to creating more awareness about energy consumption and what can be done to reduce it, the additional goal is to collect 2,500 sweaters for those less fortunate, say organizers. The Williams Lake DBIA has 14 businesses that will be accepting donations of sweaters and jackets for children to be distrib-

Centre and for adults to be distributed to the Canadian Mental Health Association. “Our goal is to collect a minimum of 225 sweaters,” says WLCBIA president Sheila Mortensen. She says gently used sweaters and jackets and even hats, scarves and mitts will be accepted to help families in the community that are struggling financially. She encourages all businesses and homeowners in Williams Lake join the downtown businesses in the campaign. “We will all be wearing sweaters to promote energy efficiency,” Mortensen says. In Williams Lake sweaters and

This is the first time business improvement associations have come together collaboratively to work on a project province wide at the same time. It is an exciting opportunity to make a difference and promote such an important message of energy conservation, say organizers.

Film club screens Herzog’s first big film Krista Liebe Special to The Tribune The Williams Lake Film Club will present its next film Tuesday, Feb. 5, at the Gibraltar Room. We will be bringing you a very special film, Aguiree, a classic that catapulted director Werner Herzog into film world attention. It was his first big film (1973), and still is one of the very best. Herzog did not have much money and actually stole the camera from the film institute he was studying at. All the finances he managed to raise was $370,000. a third of which went to Klaus Kinski, the only wellknown star in the film. And he truly is incredible, becoming one of Herzog’s special characters he worked with in future films. Most of the others were extras, mostly Peruvian Indios. The filming took place in the deepest jungle of Peru and the Amazons, and yes, Herzog confirmed that he threatened Kinski with a handgun if he would not finish the

Film club screens Herzog ﬁlm Aguiree on Tuesday evening at the Gibraltar Room. film. I met Herzog at a seminar in Edmonton where he confirmed quite a few of the wildest rumours. But as he said — what else could he do? The story of the film is based on a conquest and on the diary of a priest who accompanied Aguiree. In the mid-16th century, after annihilating the Incan empire, Gonzalo Pizarro leads his army of conquistadors over the Andes into the heart of the most savage environment on earth in search of the fabled city

of gold, El Dorado. As the soldiers battle starvation, Indians, the forces of nature, and each other, Don Lope de Aguirre, “The Wrath of God” in his own words, is consumed with visions of conquering all of South America, and revolts against Pizarro, leading his own group down a treacherous river on a doomed quest into oblivion. What makes it even more stunning is that he has his 15 year old daughter with him. Crazed with greed and mad with power, Aguirre takes over the

quest, slaughtering any that oppose him – mad for gold! And his greed knows no bounds. This is truly an amazing film, hard to explain. The actors went through incredible hardships, and is actually lived under the worst circumstances in the

jungle, and this certainly is part of the drama. The music is haunting, the cinematography of nature is overwhelming in its brutal beauty. And this is a film which is hard to find and which you definitely should not miss. I can hardly wait to see it again. Screening will start at 7 p.m., back doors for admission will open at 6:30 p.m. If you do come through the front doors, just walk through to the back to meet us. Admission is $9, for Film Club members $8, seniors (65+) and students, TRU and HS, $6. The Williams Lake Film Club is non-profit and the proceeds help to support the LDA, Williams Lake Chapter of the Association for Students with Learning Disabilities.

Fishing fun with kids on Chimney Lake LeRae Haynes Special to The Tribune Conservation officers and workers at the Child Development Centre (CDC) brought ice fishing gear to Chimney Lake on Saturday, embracing the opportunity to hang out with kids and families and enjoying a unique Cariboo activity. This is the second time that CDC has partnered with the BC Conservation Service or the RCMP in an ice fishing day with kids— an event that includes a BBQ lunch. One of the goals is to build relationships between difference agencies, and another is to give kids the chance to interact with groups such as conservation officers and RCMP in a fun environment. Fishing enthusiasts from the CDC and Conservation arrived at the lake on Saturday with ice augers, fishing poles, hut shelters, maggots and corn, looking forward to a fun day on a beautiful lake and to sharing their skill, passion and experience with kids who may have never cast a line in the water before. One of the CDC child and youth care workers at the lake was Annikki Egolf who has been ice fishing since she was a child. Provincial Fisheries Technician Todd Gale said that he came to the lake to share his knowledge, fishing gear, bait and experience with kids. “We’re targeting Kokanee and are baiting with corn and pink or plain maggots,” he explained. “We haven’t had much success so far—could be the fact that it’s a full moon and fish eat all night, and aren’t very hungry during the day.” This was seven-yearold Pavneet Gill’s second time ice fishing. “Pavneet’s rod caught a fish last year, but she was busy playing with the other kids,” said her mom, Navdeep Gill. “She hopes to get one this time.” Fishing enthusiast and Provincial Conservation Predator Con-

flict Prevention and Response Coordinator Sergeant Darrell Ashworth was on hand to help get the kids set up for fishing. This was his second year on the ice with kids, in response to an invitation by CDC. Conservation officer and fishing enthusiastic Jeff Tyre, recently relocated to the Cariboo, said that he’s thoroughly enjoying the great climate and wilderness experiences in his new community with his young sons. He said that although he is new to ice fishing he considers it a great winter activity — one that he wholeheartedly enjoys. CDC child and youth care worker Dave Preeper said that he’d also like to get kids out to enjoy things like fishing, hiking and camping during the summer. “This is a positive thing for kids — a brand new activity for most of them. It’s good for them to keep their brains active,” he explained. “When you’re catching fish, that’s what happens.” He added that getting out to fish is a way to get away from electronics and connect with people. “There is a sense of community here,” he said, pointing to the large group of kids and adults gathered around the fishing holes in the ice. “I think it’s a very positive thing that B.C. has taken in proclaiming Family Day on February 11 a statutory holiday,” he continued. “With our current economy a lot of parents are working more and a lot of families need this time together. A family holiday is important.” Lifelong fishing enthusiast and Conservation Officer Len Butler enjoyed his second ice fishing escapade with CDC on Saturday. “We welcome these opportunities to get involved and help out with the community like this,” he explained. “We’d like to get participate in more — get involved with a range of outdoor activities and community events.”

“They call the Cariboo home” Krysta Thomson enjoys ties to Scotland and the Cariboo LeRay Haynes Special to The Tribune Williams Lake resident Krysta Thomson has strong ties to the Cariboo and to Scotland. Both are places rich with history, culture and tradition — one of them thousands of years older than the other. With family in both locations, she is currently working as a tutor in local high schools while waiting for acceptance to pharmacy schools she has applied to in the UK and Scotland. Her family moved to Williams Lake when she was in Grade 3 and she attended Nesika Elementary and Columneetza Secondary schools, graduating in 2004. After completing a political science degree at the University of Northern B.C., she said that she was ready for a break from school and decided to get in touch with her Scottish roots. “My great-great grandfather on my dad’s side was born in a farmhouse in Cowdendeath in the Kingdom of Fife — I still have a great-great aunt and cousins in the area,” she explained. “I spent two years in Scotland, and traveling around Europe — I made a lot of friends and got to meet my relatives.” She said the trip had less than auspicious beginnings: an adventure that included switched destinations, misplaced luggage, a seized lock on a flat and a suitcase delivered to a fruit stand. “It was so great to get to the farm after that,” she continued. “There was

fun of for my accent before. At one of my jobs my co-workers would write Scottish phrases on pieces of paper and get me to say them, and kill themselves laughing,” she continued. “It was hilarious — I love a good laugh.” She traveled to Greece and France, visiting Normandy beaches and a Canadian military museum. “I did Paris on my own, and went to Italy, Finland, Ireland, Switzerland, Austria, Germany and Holland. I made connection with lots of friends and stayed with friends along

the way when I could,” she explained. After a year in Scotland she attended a Ceilidh where she met her boyfriend, Stuart Bennett, who is now spending time with her in Williams Lake. “The first time I met him we danced a few times but didn’t really talk; the second time we made a stronger connection, and we went to the end-of-festival fireworks in September. We dated a couple of months and then he moved to Australia for a year and a half— something that had been

He’s gotten to do some things he never got to do in Scotland, like drive a snow plow and fencing,” she added. “And riding a horse is definitely on his list.” Krysta said that people in Scotland and Canada

are both fascinated by each other’s culture. “It’s the old world and the new one — Scotland has such a rich, old history and Canada has such a rich, new one,” she explained. “We embrace things about Scottish traditions just like they embrace things like the Mounties and the cowboys.” She added that Stuart is the biggest sweetheart in the world. “I just love his accent,” she laughed. “He loves a good adventure and is thoroughly enjoying his time in Canada.”

Tuula Opheim (Tydeman)

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tuula Opheim on January 24, 2013. Tuula slipped peacefully into the arms of her Lord Jesus after a two and a half year struggle with cancer. She is survived by her daughter, Maigan Opheim; parents, David and Wilma Tydeman; sisters: Nerida Hygh (Steven), Zoe Tydeman; brother, Patrick Tydeman (Michelle), and a number of nieces and nephews. In her early adult years, Tuula lived in Nanaimo, Dawson Creek and Tumbler Ridge where she worked in the hospitality industry. In later years, she worked for Black Press at Williams Lake, the lower mainland, Ashcroft, and lastly, Prince Rupert, returning home to Nanaimo in 2010. Wherever Tuula lived and worked she made lifelong loving friends with co-workers, in her community and in her church. Her greatest joy was serving and giving to others and exercising her unique sense of humor. Our family gives thanks to the Drs, nurses and Hospice volunteers of the Palliative Care Unit at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital for the wonderful, considerate care with which they attended Tuula during her stay there. Also for their kindness and encouragement to all family members and friends. A special thank you to Cheryl Rae and Debbie Bianchin for the love and support they gave to Tuula and family. A celebration of Tuula’s life will take place at Eagle Mountain Pentecostal Church on Saturday, February 2, 2013 at 2 p.m. The church is located at the Howard Johnston Hotel on Comox Road, Nanaimo (beside the Greyhound Bus Depot).
